Sat, 25 May 2019 04:19:13 GMTMy bike came with a tank bag that is pretty much perfect. It is showing its age though and doesn't have many mile left in her. I am pretty sure it is an OEM Buell bag. I would like to find a replacement that is in better shape. Here is a pic of my bike with what I think is the OEM bag. Buell n KTM.jpg

Everytime I get sucked in by a new bike I find myself getting aggravated because of all the tech and all of the built in dealer dependence. I learned to work on motorcycles because I became disenchanted with the work and the prices the dealers delivered in the 90's. Sooooo, after trying many bikes and still wanting, I ended up with this baby. You may notice the KTM in the foreground. Depending on how this all works out, the KTM may be history. Buell n KTM.jpg

Wed, 22 May 2019 20:31:41 GMTSo, I picked up a 2000 Buell Blast with 7700 miles on it for my lady to learn to ride. (She's been doing fantastic!)
The bike has a Corbin Seat, Buell Pro Series intake and exhaust. It seems to stumble a bit when idling once the bike gets up to temp. It also seems to bog when you get on the throttle for 2-3seconds before it really gets going.
We've owned the bike for a week as of tomorrow. So far all we've done is order some cosmetic stuff for her and a new Buell low seat and battery. We got the bike from my buddy for $800. Runs and rides, I road it home.

I've done some research and here are my thoughts.
This weekend I'm going to check the spark plug and most likely replace with Denso (5731) IXU01-27.
Replace fuel filter. (Any recommendations?)
I'm going to pull the carb and check the boot and see if it's been jetted since it has intake and exhaust.
If it's not jetted, I was going to contact 6 sigma about a jet kit for it. (Unless someone else has other recommendations)
While I'm in there, I suppose I should shim needle 0.050"
I'm also going to try and better support the intake as I read it causes those boots to fail when you use anything other than the factory box.

One last thing, that I'll probably have to sort myself, but maybe someone knows. She was riding it around in the parking lot yesterday evening and towards the end of the ride, it developed what sounds like a metal rattle coming from somewhere around the rear suspension. I can't seem to find anything loose upon first inspection. It almost sounds like a screw rattling on a tin tray when you rev the bike. I'm not super concerned with it at the moment as It's definitely not coming from the engine and my main concern is to get the bike it better running order before paint and cosmetic mods begin.

Is there anything I missed?

Thanks,
Nefarious

Wed, 22 May 2019 18:21:58 GMTAs the title tries to inform, I'm interested in buying a 2010 Buell XB 12Ss, known as the "Lightning Long" if I'm correct. I've owned 10 different bikes previously (V-Max, GSX-R, you name it.) The bike I'm looking at looks great, and has 34,000 kilometers on the clock. I am just slightly scared about a few things I read on the internet. While I know the internet is not always reliable, I also know this is a forum for the fans of Buell bikes. Please be as brutally honest as possible! My concerns are:

-I've read that finding parts would be difficult. I'm based in Finland, and it worries me that if my bike breaks down, I cannot find parts to get it fixed. Is this the case?
-I've also read that Buell's wouldn't be reliable. This is a later model from 2010. True/false?
-Is 34tkm a lot for a bike like this, how long do they generally last, and is there something to start watching out for at this mileage? The bike seems clean on the outside and it has been adjusted and dyno'd, documentation provided. But the rest I really can't but guess as I don't know these bikes.

The vibration and other quirks don't worry me. Only the stuff above. Thanks for your possible replies.

Upon closer inspection the lens was actually warped as well. I can't say for sure this happened after the new bulb, as I hadn't looked at it closely. The previous bulb was some kind of bright white silverstar or something. Does anyone know where I can find just the lens? I'd rather not drop another 100-150 on an entire assembly.

I rode in to work today, parked, and noticed some oil on my shoe. looked down and saw oil had been spraying down the right side of the bike, and even on to my rear tire.... awesome!

I have not yet taken any of the plastics off to inspect it in detail, but I think it's coming from the "oil vent" line, where it connects to the oil pump?

Any one have any suggestions on if this is going to be a tough fix or not? OR do you think it may be something else to check?

Tue, 21 May 2019 14:56:48 GMTi have a few parts , some i never installed & those are new in the box. My bike went through several transformations while I owned it. I put parts on & later took them off, some parts I never put on. I sold the bike awhile ago and I have all these parts left over. There may be more when I clean the storage more later.
I have photos.
My bike was a 2003 XB9S
Heres a List;

I have/can send as many high res pics as yu want of any item. Refer to the Item number helps me, thx.
I have some pics of my bike so yu can see how some of the things looked. &
I have pics of other bikes with how some of the never installed things looked..
Email me for details dugty@yahoo.com
Be patient for my reply. I will reply as quick as I can,,

All of these things are not made anymore, and really dress up the bike.
If more then one person wants an item, Ill handle it like an auction. Its not sold till I get money.

No saving stuff without a deposit of 50% cash in my hand. Even then, if payment in full is not received after 10 days, I reserve the right to put the item back up for sale, especially if it is in demand, and no refund will be issued until the item is sold. Its fair, be responsible. Im trying to sell things, Im not a counselor or a punching bag. Or storage barn. Im cleaning out a storage& Im not keeping anything.

Local pick-up is welcome ☺. I can ship after full payment is received + shipping costs of your choice, & I recommend insurance..

**I need to receive full payment before I let go of any item**

All sales are final. No returns, No refunds. Im not a store.
Once an item is sold, Ill remove it from the list.

*US buyers only unless you email me and we discuss alternate circumstances*

Payment can be made best by money to an email I will provide – different from the above email, available only to buyers. Also cheque in the mail is acceptable. Cashiers Chq is faster, else ill have to wait till yours clears. I may set up Pay Pal, but you’ll have to have a verifiable personal account so I can see who you are. & I will not dis
close my account numbers!! (Scammers are asking for PayPal account numbers now!). Truth is, we will both have to employ careful security measures. Scammers are quite sophisticated now!

As a good noob I need some help. (I'm a double noob cause this is my first bike)

Right, I have the aforementioned bike with a Jardine exhaust, breather mod and a baro sensor kit.
The guys from Buelltooth sent me the proper map for my settings and I flashed it to the ECM
and then did a TPS following the instructions on their web site.

Bike was great for a while, then started to worsen and now in the low revs range really sucks.
I don't really know how to explain it technically but it's like gurgling from 1500 to 3000 rpm then goes smoother,
but still the power it's not constant and it's like jerky when accelerating.

Could it be I need to change the exhaust, maybe getting a Torque Hammer that, as I "understand" has a more flat torque curve?
Or it might be some other mechanical problem?

Thanks in advance for your help

Marco

No hot gas blow by as best as I can tell and the bike runs great. I have ordered a James Gaskets top end gasket kit. The kit has an MLS head gasket and a standard paper/metal gasket. I'm going to assume the MLS gasket is the way to go. I am looking for the proper technique to install a James MLS head gasket. I see lots of posts about installing sportster head gaskets on google, when a sporty pumps out more than 30hp I'll start taking them seriously ;-)

The reason I ask is, a year ago I did the base gaskets because of oil weep (still weeps) and obviously I did the head gaskets and rocker box gaskets. The rocker box does not appear to be leaking. I have doubts about the quality of install I did a year ago. I may have used the o-rings. I may not have properly lubed the head bolts. Every year I'm rotating the engine for gaskets, getting pretty good at it - BUT if someone can offer suggestions and comments I'm all ears. Maybe next spring I won't have to rotate my motor. Maybe I should install velco fasteners...

I could blame James gaskets but I don't think its them :-P (this time)
